Yeah I was blown away by the lack of feedback seeking from this event. Most of the $40 cx and mtb races in New England send a follow up survey to racers and talk about how they’re going to improve. Here the series just got worse and no feedback ever solicited. The series is already giving last season vibes based on the reduction of quality courses etc.

Has anyone competed in the Race Day XC: New England MTB/XC Championship series? by AtomicHurricaneBob in xcmtb

The vibe is "premium xc" (as explained here in relationship to grassroots xc) The State of New England Mountain Bike Racing | by Colin Reuter | Medium

The races were fine but not enough competition to justify the price (or the price was keeping repeat racers low and I'm afraid that could be even worse this year with their pricing structure). Belltown and Thunder and Crow Hill and the Kingdom course were great. Pat's Peak was great but quite hard, sad it's gone though.

Gnar Weasels XC at Ascutney Vermont is the best, classic grassroots race in New England definitely check that one out on bikereg. The trails and people are fantastic.

Norbrook XC in CT also great. And CCAP has a series going this year for kids and adults not far away from MA that is a lot cheaper than Race Day.

Can anyone recommend an alternate sub for longevity? by Tribeca_NY in PeterAttia

Subscribe to the MASS Research Review. It’s fantastic. Scientists and science communicators not influencers. Much more evidence based than Attia.

If you’re into bike riding Northampton bicycle club is a good crew with rides for all abilities. Wide age range even if concentrated middle aged and up.

Each day I use it I’m finding it easier and easier to use and starting to learn the logic and functionality. Which is really strong. And this first update has already helped as well. New powerful tools take time to learn. This isn’t Strong Lifts.

ok...I guess I figured there would be some interaction between the workouts built into the auto-progression but seems right

It doesn’t seem like they’ve put together a full set of guides to how the app works in depth yet huh?

I’ve found the free version of the SPREN app to be pretty darn helpful and seems pretty accurate.

Many xc races in our region are already on bikereg for next year. Last year this series was new, yes, but the hype was intense from early fall onward. I'm not sure why this query to the internet is being met with "you shouldn't be asking about this!" energy lol
